2012 Map of Scaper Reservoir

About this map

Caballo Cr and Bluegate Cr course through this high plains drainage system in Campbell County, where the landscape is defined by its collection of small-scale water management features and surface mining activity. The map reveals an intricate network of draws, such as School Section Draw, Red Top Draw, and Thielen Draw, which channel intermittent flows toward scattered catchments like Scaper Reservoir and Moser Reservoir. This 2012 survey documents the industrial footprint of the region through labeled pits including Tammy Pit, Cattail Pit, and Old Well Pit. The distribution of these features alongside roads like Bell Rd and Hoe Creek Rd illustrates a rural economy reliant on water retention and mineral extraction. Genealogists and local historians can use the named features, such as Dayton Reservoir and Romaker Reservoir, to locate specific family-linked land tracts and historical ranching boundaries in this part of Wyoming.
